""Rock n' Roll is not dead," "I think it's having a rebirth right now, downtown NYC you can hear electric guitars squealing through bar doors as people are hungry for live music. Even better, a rock ballet!""
""My roots are in ballet and theatre and to be able to return to the stage in The Who's Quadrophenia rock ballet feels like a gift from the rock gods," "Well, one of them himself, Pete Townshend already wrote me a note welcoming me on board, and I'm framing it.""
""I'm thrilled to welcome Ansel to Quadrophenia. The spirit of Rock n' Roll was not just my generation. It's every generation.""
""I've always been very impressed with Ansel as an actor and knew about his training at School of American Ballet," " Quadrophenia seemed like a great opportunity to combine those two talents.""
